We can take it to any other hardware platform but there are no plans to do so at this time.
We first want to address fundamental issues such as SMP support, modern 3D support, printer infrastructure.
The goal has never been to port AmigaOS to PPC just for the unique sake modernizing the OS.
Anybody who believes that Hyperion was ever under ANY delusions to be a full alternative for Windows, MacOS X or even Linux as a desktop OS, is severely mistaken. We never expected to gain a significant market share at the expense of this established operating systems.
Let's be real, you have to be a complete idiot to believe you can match the development resources behind these platforms.
At the same time existing and former AmigaOS fans and enthusiast will continue to enjoy their preferred or alternative operating system on modern hardware with PCI-Express, Gigabit ethernet, (fairly) recent graphics cards etc.
This comes with a price because of the exclusivity of the market.
Personally, having a CPU that is only used in guided missiles such as on the AmigaOne X1000 and of which only a few thousand were ever produced, and running AmigaOS 4.x on it, appeals to me.
A question of taste and as the Romans already knew 2 millennia ago 'de gustibus et coloribus non disputandum est" i.e. it is pointless to argue about tastes and colors."
Le parti salienti:
1. siamo liberi di portare AmigaOS 4 su qualunque piattaforma ma non abbiamo alcuna intenzione di farlo per adesso.
2. non abbiamo mai pensato di fare concorrenza a Linux, Windows o MacOSX perché solo un completo idiota potrebbe pensare di stare dietro al loro livello di sviluppo
3. personalmente, il fatto di far girare AmigaOS 4.1 su un processore come quello dell'X1000, realizzato in pochi esemplari e capace di teleguidare un missile, mi esalta parecchio
